Man these are so tempting. Grrr but I've told myself to only collect the Marvel Legends ones as they are not as expensive and I can get them easier. These things have already sold out. Sad that BBTS does not have them for pre-order and with Black Panther being a web exclusive pfft you can forget being able to get him easily.

Some of the joints in these figures are really well done. The Spidey knee joint blends in really nicely and the Thanos elbow joint also seems to be nicely done! Pretty impressed! The face sculpts are also decently close to the real thing which is pretty cool!

The Ironman MK50 designs are interesting. Looking at the plating and color variance spots, it looks like it follows a pattern of a human musculature system. Like Tony deliberately streamlined it after interactions with seeing Peter Parker and building the Iron Spider suit, but also as partially a fallout reason from Steve and Bucky and their capabilities when he had to fight them.

Agreed, but the problem with Thanos is his design from the film... he would look much better in full armor IMO.

Ahh but you haven't seen the movie yet. "Have patience and see what happens before judging"
is a good philosophy to go by.

2 things bro. What did u mean by "Strange and Star-Lord look almost exactly the same"? And it's a different license for actors likeness' it may not be bandai's/tamashiinations choice. Or have to be sold under a different format, ect.

At least this way, I have a second shot at Black Panther and Black Widow. Thanos looks good too.

Does "Bandai Premium Web Exclusive" mean "If you live in the US on a budget you will never see this figure"?

No, that pertains to Japan only. It means regular retail outlets in Japan will not be offered these items. Bluefin will likely distribute these in the U.S.

The main figures will include an extra exclusive piece of some kind (stand or effects pieces) to bring them to about $80 to $90 each. The Hulkbuster, being so expensive already, will likely not need to include another item for U.S. release.
